“We are thrilled to work with Wounded Warrior Project for such an exciting day of lacrosse at Hofstra University,” commented Hofstra University Vice President and Director of Athletics Jeffrey A. Hathaway. “Wounded Warrior Project is such an important organization and one that we are excited to support. We look forward to fans of Hofstra Lacrosse, and lacrosse fans in general, supporting Wounded Warrior Project while enjoying a great game between two nationally-ranked squads. On behalf of the Hofstra Community, we want to thank all the men and women who have served in the armed forces, both past and present, along with those family members and friends that support them.”
